ESTES 2066 PRO SERIES PATRIOT FLYING MODEL ROCKET,BUILT

CHECK OUT THIS 1/5 SCALE "SCUD-KILLER" OF THE DESERT!

WHO'S READY TO TRY OUT THIS 4 D CLUSTER MONSTER?!

THIS IS AN ESTES PRO SERIES PATRIOT MISSILE FLYING MODEL ROCKET BEAUTIFULLY BUILT AND FINISHED FROM OUT OF PRODUCTION KIT NUMBER 2066.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BUILD IS FIRST RATE, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT.  I USED EPOXY RESIN AND ONLY EPOXY RESIN FOR ADHESIVE.  THE 4 D CLUSTER ENGINE MOUNT IS BOUND WITH PLYWOOD RINGS AND AN ALUMINUM END PLATE (SEE PHOTO).  THE 4 SLOT MOUNTED FINS ARE CONSTRUCTED OF FIBER STOCK OVER A PLYWOOD FRAMEWORK.  THE ONLY BALSA PIECES IN THE ENTIRE BUILD ARE THE FAUX CONDUITS THAT RUN NEARLY THE LENGTH OF THE ROCKET ON TWO SIDES.  THE FINS, CONDUITS, AND 1/4" LAUNCH LUGS ARE FILLETTED WITH EPOXY RESIN.  AFTER FITTING OUT, ASSEMBLING, AND HAND SHAPING OF THE FIN EDGES AND CONDUITS, I FINISHED THE ROCKET WITH A COAT OF GRAY PRIMER A COAT OF WHITE PRIMER AND 2 TOP COATS OF THE FINEST GLOSS WHITE, GLOSS RED, AND GLOSS BLACK ENAMELS.  MOST OF THE BLACK DETAILS ARE PRESSURE SENSITIVE DECALS AND ADHESIVE-BACKED MONOKOTE.  THE PEARLESCENT YELLOW PORTION OF THE WARHEAD IS AN ADHESIVE-BACKED MYLAR WRAP.  I DIDN'T ASSEMBLE THE 18" NYLON PARACHUTE INTO THE ROCKET, BUT IT IS OF COURSE INCLUDED.  THE HEAVY CARDBOARD BOX THE KIT CAME IN IS STILL INTACT IS ALSO INCLUDED.

NOTE: THE KIT INDICATES THAT AN FAA NOTIFICATION OR WAIVER IS REQUIRED TO FLY THIS MODEL.  THE PAMPHET WITH THE DETAILS IS INCLUDED.  I DON'T KNOW IF THIS FAA NOTIFICATION IS STILL REQUIRED THOUGH, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF THE "BIG STUFF" OUT THERE NOW.

THIS FINE SCALE MODEL HAS NEVER BEEN FLOWN, HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE, HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH, AND HAS BEEN HANDLED VERY LITTLE.

THE MODEL ROCKET IN THE PHOTOS IS THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE.

SPECIFICATIONS: LENGTH 39", DIAMETER 3.0", WEIGHT (ACTUAL, WITHOUT ENGINES) 16.0 OZ., MAX. ALTITUDE 1000 FEET, RECOVERY VIA 18" NYLON PARACHUTE.  RECOMMENDED ENGINES D12-7 (X4).  I DON'T THINK THE D12-7 ENGINE IS MADE ANY LONGER, SO D12-5 ENGINES ARE PROBABLY A VIABLE SUBSTITUTE.

THERE IS A MODEST RESERVE ON THIS FINE ROCKET, I ASSURE YOU IT'S WORTH IT.

THE COMPACT DISK IN THE PHOTO IS FOR SIZE COMPARISON ONLY AND ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE SALE.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT SHIPPING COST BEFORE YOU BID.

MADE IN U.S.A.

NO ROCKET ENGINES OR IGNITORS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
